(Beijing Winter Olympics) The Chinese team set the best result in the history of the Figure Skating Team Competition of the Winter Olympic Games
Beijing, February 7 (China News Service) -- The Chinese figure skating team won the fifth place in the figure skating team competition of the Beijing Winter Olympics on the 7th. This is the best result of the Chinese team in the history of the Winter Olympics in this field.
According to the rules, each individual player receives points according to the ranking, and the first place receives 10 points, and then decreases sequentially. After a total of 8 games in the men's singles, women's singles, pair skating and ice dance, the Chinese team scored a total of 50 points.

The Chinese team's competitors include Jin Boyang (men's singles), Zhu Yi (women's singles), Wang Shiyue/Liu Xinyu (ice dance), and two pairs of double skating duo Sui Wenjing/Han Cong, Peng Cheng/Jin Yang competed in the short program and free skating competitions respectively.
Among them, the "Sui-Han Combination" came out on top in the short program competition, fighting for 10 points for the Chinese team. The "Penkin Combination" also scored 8 points in the free skating competition held on the 7th.
Jin Yang self-evaluation said that although there were mistakes in some actions, they deduced the depth of this set of programs. Peng Cheng said that after so much effort before, we must keep our best self on the field.

Wang Shiyue / Liu Xinyu presented a rhythm dance with a retro rock style and a free dance with a very traditional Chinese style in both competitions. Liu Xinyu said that they achieved the set goal in the team competition, but they can do better from the point of view of the score, and will adjust the technical action for the individual competition.
Figure skating team events were listed as an official event from the Sochi Winter Olympics. The Chinese team previously finished seventh in Sochi and sixth in Pyeongchang.
While applauding the progress of the Chinese team, people should also be soberly aware of the problems exposed by the team through this battle. For example, the follow-up is weak. The 24-year-old men's singles player Jin Boyang needs to play 4 times, and he "does not allow himself to fail", which is because there is only one more competitive male singles player in China. In contrast, the Japanese team, the men's singles free skater sent a new generation of players Key Mountain Yumasa, this 18-year-old boy has made a splash in the Olympic arena.

Another example is that the "short board" is obvious. Women's singles player Zhu Yi made serious mistakes in both matches. When the women's singles free skating game was reviewed after the 7th, she felt unacceptable that she had fallen twice in one game.
The Russian Olympic Committee team scored 74 points in total and won the gold medal in the figure skating team event of the Winter Olympic Games without suspense. The team, in particular, performed well in women's singles, with Camilla Vallieva, who holds three scoring records under the current rules, and her score in Beijing can be said to be "faulted" ahead of other teams' female players.
PyeongChang Winter Olympic figure skating team champion Canada missed the podium this time, only fourth. The United States and Japan finished second and third respectively. (End)
